The military master pledged his life to the country, and the military wife pledged her life to him.

"Old Zhou is from Kyoto. With his help, things will be much easier." Fu Huaichuan explained.

Lin Xi understood and said, "No wonder you brought Lao Zhou back. Anyway, your father's illness should be the most important thing. My adoptive parents are not in a hurry. But will we just go back when the time comes?"

"The main reason is that this is my first time to meet your parents. I'm afraid that after your adoptive parents know that I have three children, they will worry about you in private, or even blame themselves, thinking that it was because they wrongly trusted Lin Youwei that you married a man like me. Of course, I'm also afraid that the villagers will ridicule me for having three children."

"You have thought it through very carefully. I will do as you say."

Fu Huaichuan really likes the way the two of them discuss things.

So he asked, "Do you want to follow me to the army?"

"Yes, but I want to live in a house with a yard. Can you apply for it?"

Lin Xi boldly put forward her request, mainly because her family had many children and it would be very inconvenient to live in the old tube-shaped building.

"Of course, I can, but... the sisters-in-law in the family compound all want to live in a building. Don't you want to live in a building? If you want to live in a building, I can apply for one. Our army's new family compound will be completed soon."

"I don't want to live in an apartment building because there's no privacy there. I'd rather have an independent yard. This way I can plant some flowers and vegetables in the yard, and the children will have a place to play. Of course, the most important thing is to bring Ningning with me. I'll be much more relaxed with him."

Otherwise, what if Fu Liangdong and Fu Liangchen don't listen to her? But as long as Ningning is there, these problems will be solved.

Fu Huaichuan was a little surprised that Lin Xi actually wanted to take Fu Ning with him to join the army, but because the car had already arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, he didn't dwell on the issue any more.

Anyway, there was still a lot of time to come, so there was no need for him to park the car in front of the supply and marketing cooperative gate to block the road and talk to Lin Xi. Instead, Lin Xi curiously stretched her neck and looked through the car window at the old earthen houses outside that only existed in old photos. There was unstoppable curiosity in her eyes, and at the same time she had a sense of reality that she was really living in the 1970s.

"Haven't you been to the supply and marketing cooperative before?" Fu Huaichuan asked in surprise.

"No."

Neither she nor the original owner had ever visited the supply and marketing cooperative in Lingcheng.

"The Lin family didn't want outsiders to know Lin Zhongwei's background, so they locked me up in a small dark room as soon as I arrived in Lingcheng. If my mother hadn't sent me to the hospital, I wouldn't even know which way the door of Lingcheng Hospital faces..." Lin Xi looked sarcastic when mentioning the Lin family.

Fu Huaichuan didn't know how to comfort Lin Xi, so he could only say, "It's okay. I'm very familiar with Lingcheng. I'll take you to get familiar with it later."

"Ah."

"I'll get off first, you wait for me."

After saying that, Fu Huaichuan unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. He trotted around the front of the car, came to her door, and considerately opened the door for Lin Xi and unbuckled her seat belt.

Lin Xi: o(*////▽////*)q What a good man!

When the jeep appeared in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, it immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by. Especially after seeing what Fu Huaichuan did, everyone became more curious about Lin Xi, who had not yet appeared in the car. They gathered around the jeep and looked inside as if they were watching a peep show.

Lin Xi: "..."

Fortunately, she is thick-skinned, otherwise anyone with a thin skin would be so ashamed that they would hide in the car and dare not get out.

After Lin Xi got out of the car, she followed Fu Huaichuan into the supply and marketing cooperative.

As they walked, he talked to Fu Huaichuan and said, "Let's buy some candies today and give them out. Let's not buy anything else for now, okay?"

"We don't have to buy candy, but I can't buy you nothing. I heard that weddings now require three turns and one ring. Let's go to the watch counter and ask if there are any Shanghai brand watches here. If there are, I will buy you one first. I think we need to order the other things in advance."

"I'll buy those things after I join the army!"

Lin Xi knows how to make clothes herself.

So whether it is a sewing machine or a bicycle, they are both necessities of life.

But if I buy it now, she will have to buy it again when she joins the army, which would be a waste of money.

Fu Huaichuan thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Anyway, we already have these two things at home, so you can use them directly. In addition to the watch, I will buy you a few sets of clothes and shoes, and then you can see if there are any fabrics or bed sheets or quilt covers that you like."

Fu Huaichuan felt that Lin Xi had suffered enough by following him, so he didn't want to further wrong her over these material things.

But he knew too little about girls. Apart from clothes and shoes, he really couldn't think of anything else to buy for Lin Xi. Fortunately, Lin Xi was not a person who would put herself in a difficult position, so she immediately said, "Besides this, I also need to buy some facial cream."

Fu Huaichuan: “Buy!”

"We have to buy some White Rabbit candy too."

"purchase!"

"And malted milk."

"purchase!"

"besides……"

"purchase!"

Fu Huaichuan was so happy to buy the characters that Lin Xi couldn't help but joke, "Fu Huaichuan, aren't you afraid that I will use up all the money and tickets in your pocket at once?"

"Today you are the bride, you are the boss, so buy whatever you want, don't worry about money and tickets, I will find a way if you run out of money."

"Fu Huaichuan, you'll spoil me like this."

Fu Huaichuan's excessive generosity made Lin Xi's nose sore, and her anxiety about the unknown marriage also dissipated a lot.

Especially when I heard Fu Huaichuan say in a firm and confident tone: "You won't."

Lin Xi almost burst into tears.

But she couldn't help it and pretended nothing happened and began to carefully choose what she needed.

It was 1975, and there were not many ready-made clothes to choose from in the supply and marketing cooperatives. Most people wore blue, gray and green clothes, and cloth shoes.

Lin Xi didn't want to appear too eccentric, lest he be labeled a bad element.

So she bought two sets of clothes, a pair of rubber sandals, a pair of Liberation shoes and some white sneakers and then stopped.

Even so, the counter clerk still looked at her with envy, especially after seeing Fu Huaichuan in military uniform standing beside her.

So when Lin Xi led Fu Huaichuan, who was carrying a lot of bags, to buy candy, the aunt selling candy couldn't help but gossip, "Young comrade, you guys just got married?"

Lin Xi nodded shyly: "Aunt, what kind of candies here are delicious and cheap? Do you have the White Rabbit milk candy and malted milk? I want some of both."

As soon as these words were spoken, the candy-selling auntie immediately and enthusiastically introduced her candies to Lin Xi and Fu Huaichuan.

Considering that there are many children in the family, Lin Xi bought three cans of malted milk, two kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy, and some relatively inexpensive fruit candies...

But when the two came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Fu Huaichuan's hands were already full.

Lin Xi: "..."

She swore that she had been very restrained and that she only bought daily necessities, but why did she have so many things?
